IC_4e_SIMP_FM_3PP_LY_20161014.indd 8 10/14/16 5:50 PM Preface The Integrated Chinese (IC) series is an internationally acclaimed Mandarin Chinese language course that delivers a cohesive system of print and digital resources for highly effective teaching and learning. First published in 1997, it is now the leading series of Chinese language learning resources in the United States and beyond. Through its holistic focus on the language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, IC teaches novice and intermediate students the skills they need to function in Chinese. What’s New It has been eight years since the publication of the Third Edition of IC. We are deeply grateful for all the positive feedback, as well as constructive suggestions for improvement, from IC users. In the meantime, China and the world have seen significant transformations in electronic communications, commerce, and media. Additionally, the technology available to us is transforming the way teachers and students interact with content. The teaching of Chinese as a second language needs to keep pace with these exciting developments. Therefore, the time seems right to update IC across delivery formats. In developing this latest edition of IC, we have consulted the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) 21st Century Skills Map for World Languages. The national standards for foreign language learning in the 21st century focus on goals in five areas—communication, cultures, connections, comparisons, and communities. In addition to classifying the applicable Language Practice activities by communication mode (interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational), we have added a host of materials that address the 5 Cs. The delivery of IC via the new ChengTsui Web App elevates the teaching and learning experience by presenting multimedia and interactive content in a truly blended and integrated way. New, visually rich supplementary modules that recur in each lesson have been introduced. These can be taught in any sequence to serve as prompts for classroom discussion and student reflection: • Get Real with Chinese draws on realia to situate language learning in real-life contexts. Students are required to analyze, predict, and synthesize before coming to conclusions about embedded linguistic and cultural meaning. Photos and questions connect the classroom to authentic Chinese experiences. • Chinese Chat provides opportunities for language practice in the digital environment. Realistic texting, microblogging, and social media scenarios show students how the younger generation has adapted Chinese to new communication technologies. • Characterize It! encourages students to approach Chinese characters analytically. The exercises in the first five lessons introduce a major pattern to teach character structure; then a major radical to teach characters' meanings. The remaining lessons introduce two major radicals each to allow students to continue to expand their knowledge strategically. Additional activities are provided on the ChengTsui Web App. • While not a new segment, How About You? has been revamped for the Fourth Edition. This module encourages students to personalize their study of vocabulary and learn words and phrases that relate to their own interests and background. Questions now appear in both Chinese and English, while visual cues, which typically correspond to possible answers, promote vocabulary expansion and retention. Vocabulary items corresponding to the visual cues are listed in a separate index. Moreover, to promote students’ awareness of cultural diversity in a world of rapid globalization, we have included Compare & Contrast activities in the Cultural Literacy (formerly Culture Highlights) section. This section as a whole has been given a lavishly illustrated, magazine-style treatment to better engage students. Users who subscribe to the ChengTsui Web App will have access to additional cultural content related to the lesson themes. We have also updated the Grammar section to include exercises tailored to each grammar point, so students can immediately put into practice the language forms they have just learned. Additional practice exercises for each grammar point are accessible via the ChengTsui Web App. The Basics (formerly Introduction) section has been completely redesigned to emphasize its foundational importance in the book. More information on its pedagogical function can be found on page 1. Keeping It Casual (formerly That’s How the Chinese Say It!) remains a review of functional expressions after Lessons 5 and 10 that encourages students to build their own personalized list of useful expressions. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

IC_4e_SIMP_FM_3PP_LY_20161014.indd 9 ix 10/14/16 5:50 PM Finally, the new Lesson Wrap-Up section includes context-based tasks that prepare students to communicate with native Chinese speakers. Also in this section are Make It Flow! exercises, which help students develop and apply strategies to organize information coherently and cohesively in written and spoken discourse. We created this activity to address the common phenomenon of novice and intermediate students speaking in choppy, isolated sentences. The ultimate purpose of acquiring a language is communication, and a hallmark of effective communication is the ability to produce continuous discourse. The Lesson Wrap-Up activities are intended as assessment instruments for the Can-Do Checklist, which encourages students to measure their progress at the end of the lesson. As previous users of IC will note, we have renamed the four-volume series. The new sequencing of Volumes 1 to 4 better reflects the flexibility of the materials and the diversity of our user groups and their instructional environments. As with the Third Edition, the Fourth Edition of IC features both traditional and simplified character versions of the Volume 1 and 2 textbooks and workbooks, and a combination of traditional and simplified characters in the Volume 3 and 4 textbooks and workbooks. However, in response to user feedback, we have updated the traditional characters to ensure they match the standard set currently used in Taiwan. For reference, we have consulted the Taiwan Ministry of Education’s Revised Chinese Dictionary. The most significant change to the Fourth Edition is the incorporation of innovative educational technology. Users of the print edition have access to streaming audio (at chengtsui.co), while subscribers to the ChengTsui Web App have access to streaming audio plus additional, interactive content. Users who choose to subscribe to the Basic Edition of the ChengTsui Web App will have access to: • Audio (Textbook and Workbook) • Video of the lesson texts • Vocabulary flashcards • Additional grammar exercises • Additional character practice • Additional cultural content Users who choose to subscribe to the Essential Edition of the ChengTsui Web App will, in addition to the above, have access to the Workbook with auto-grading and the Character Workbook as a download. In addition to the student editions, the ChengTsui Web App is available in an Educator Edition. The Educator Edition web-application overlay suggests teaching tips and strategies and conveniently makes connections between the Textbook and the additional resources provided in the Teacher’s Resources, such as video activity sheets, quizzes, and answer keys. A key feature of the ChengTsui Web App is coherence. The innovative instructional design provides an integrated user experience. Learners can move seamlessly between the transmission, practice, application, and evaluation stages, navigating the content to suit their particular learning needs and styles. For more information and a free trial, please visit chengtsui.co. Both in its print and digital versions, the new IC features a contemporary layout that adds clarity and rigor to our instructional design. Rich new visuals complement the text’s revised, user-friendly language and up-to-date cultural content. We hope that students and teachers find the many changes and new features timely and meaningful. Organizational Principles In the higher education setting, the IC series of four volumes often covers two years of instruction, with smooth transitions from one level to the next. The lessons first cover topics from everyday life, then gradually move to more abstract subject matter. The materials do not follow one pedagogical methodology, but instead blend several effective teaching approaches. Used in conjunction with the ChengTsui Web App, incorporating differentiated instruction, blended learning, and the flipped classroom is even easier. Here are some of the features of IC that distinguish it from other Chinese language resources: Integrating Pedagogy and Authenticity We believe that students should be taught authentic materials even in their first year of language instruction. Therefore, most of our pedagogical materials are simulated authentic materials. Authentic materials (produced by native Chinese speakers for native Chinese speakers) are also included in every lesson. x © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

IC_4e_SIMP_FM_3PP_LY_20161014.indd 10 10/14/16 5:50 PM Integrating Traditional and Simplified Characters We believe that students should learn both traditional and simplified Chinese characters. However, we also realize that teaching students both forms from day one could be overwhelming. Our solution is for students to focus on one form during their first year of study, and to acquire the other during their second. Therefore, the first two volumes of IC are available in separate traditional and simplified versions, with the alternative character forms of the texts included in the Appendix. By their second year of study, we believe that all students should be exposed to both forms of written Chinese. Accordingly, the final two volumes of IC include both traditional and simplified characters. Students in second-year Chinese language classes come from different backgrounds, and should be allowed to write in their preferred form. However, it is important that the learner write in one form only, and not a hybrid of both. Integrating Teaching Approaches Because no single teaching method can adequately train a student in all language skills, we employ a variety of approaches in IC. In addition to the communicative approach, we also use traditional methods such as grammartranslation and the direct method. Users of the ChengTsui Web App can employ additional teaching approaches, such as differentiated learning and blended learning. Students can self-pace their learning, which is a very powerful instructional intervention. The product also facilitates breaking down direct instruction into more engaging “bites” of learning, which improves student engagement. Moreover, the ChengTsui Web App allows students to interact with the content at home and practice and apply their learning in the classroom with corrective teacher feedback, which has the potential to improve student outcomes. Additionally, teachers and learners do not need to follow the instructional flow of the underlying book. They can navigate using multiple pathways in flexible and customized ways and at varying paces for true individualized learning. Acknowledgments We would like to thank users around the world for believing in IC. We owe much of the continued success of IC to their invaluable feedback. Likewise, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the University of Notre Dame for sponsoring and inviting us to a one-day workshop on IC on April 9, 2016. Leading Chinese language specialists from across the country shared their experiences with the IC authors. We are especially indebted to Professor Yongping Zhu, Chair of the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Notre Dame, and his colleagues and staff for organizing the workshop. Professors Fangpei Cai and Meng Li of the University of Chicago took time out from their busy teaching schedules to compile a detailed list of comments and suggestions. We are profoundly touched by their generosity. In completing this Fourth Edition, we have taken into consideration their and other users' recommendations for revision. Indeed, many of the changes are in response to user feedback. The authors are naturally responsible for any remaining shortcomings and oversights. For two summers in a row, Professor Liangyan Ge's wife, Ms. Yongqing Pan, warmly invited the IC team to their home to complete the bulk of the work of revising the IC series. Words are inadequate to express our thanks to Ms. Pan for her warm hospitality and her superb cooking day in and day out. We are deeply grateful to our publisher Cheng & Tsui Company and to Jill Cheng in particular for her unswerving support for IC over the years. We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our editor Ben Shragge and his colleagues for their meticulous attention to every aspect of this new edition. As we look back on the evolution of IC, one person is never far from our thoughts. Without Professor Tao-chung Yao's commitment from its inception, IC would not have been possible. Sadly, Professor Yao passed away in September 2015. Throughout that summer, Professor Yao remained in close contact with the rest of the team, going over each draft of IC 1 with an eagle eye, providing us with the benefit of his wisdom by phone and email. This Fourth Edition of IC is a living tribute to his vision and guidance. Note: Prefaces to the previous editions of IC are available at chengtsui.co. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 1 10/11/16 6:51 PM Mandarin and Dialects China is roughly the same size as the United States. There are numerous regional dialects of Chinese. These dialects, most of which are mutually unintelligible, are often divided into eight groups: Mandarin, Wu, Hakka, Southern Min, Northern Min, Cantonese, Xiang, and Gan. Conventional terms for Modern Standard Chinese include Putonghua (“common language”) in Mainland China; Guoyu (“national language”) in Taiwan; and Huayu (“language spoken by ethnic Chinese people”) in other Chinese-speaking communities, such as those in Singapore and Malaysia. It is the lingua franca of intra-ethnic (among different Chinese dialect speakers) as well as inter-ethnic (among Han Chinese and non-Han minority groups) communication in China. Its grammar is codified from the modern Chinese literary canon, while its pronunciation is based on the Beijing dialect. Modern Standard Chinese is usually referred to as Mandarin in English. China officially recognizes fifty-six ethnic groups. The Han, the largest group, accounts for over 90% of China's population. Many of the other fifty-five ethnic groups speak their own distinct languages. Syllabic Structure, Pinyin, and Pronunciation A Modern Standard Chinese syllable typically has three parts: an initial consonant, a final consisting of a vowel or a vowel and the ending consonant -n or -ng, and a tone. The tone is superimposed on the entire syllable. A syllable may also have no initial consonant. syllable tone syllable = (initial) + final/tone (initial) nà final In this book, Chinese sounds are represented by Hanyu Pinyin, or pinyin for short. The pinyin system uses twenty-five of the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet. Although pinyin symbols are thus the same as English letters, the actual sounds they represent can vary widely from their English counterparts. This section is designed to raise your awareness of these distinctions. Over time, you will acquire a more nuanced understanding of Chinese pronunciation and improve your skills through listening and practice. Simple Finals A There are six simple finals in pinyin: a, o, e, i, u, ü a is a central vowel when pronounced by itself. Keep your tongue in a relaxed position to pronounce it. a sounds similar to the “a” in “fa la la.” 2 Integrated Chinese 1 | Textbook o is a rounded semi-high back vowel. Round your lips when pronouncing it. o seldom appears as a syllable by itself. Usually it compounds with the initials b, p, m, and f, and should be practiced with them. Because of the bilabial or labiodental nature of b, p, m, and f, o sounds almost like a diphthong or the double vowel uo. It glides from a brief u to o. e is an unrounded semi-high back vowel. To pronounce it, first position your tongue as if you are about to pronounce o, then unround your mouth. At the same time, spread your lips apart as if you were smiling. This vowel is different from “e” in English, which is pronounced with the tongue raised slightly forward. i is an unrounded high front vowel. To pronounce it, smile tightly and pull the corners of your mouth straight back. It is similar to the long vowel in “sheep.” When pronouncing it, however, you raise your tongue higher. u is a rounded high back vowel. Pucker up your lips when pronouncing it. u is similar to the long vowel in “coop,” but, when pronouncing it, you raise your tongue higher and retract it more. ü is a rounded high front vowel. To produce this vowel, first position your tongue as if you are about to pronounce i, then round your lips. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 2 10/11/16 6:51 PM In the pinyin system, i represents two special vowels in addition to the high front vowel. One is a front apical vowel, the other a back apical vowel—that is to say, they are articulated with the front and back part of the tongue, respectively. Both of these vowels are homorganic with the very limited sets of initials with which they can co-occur (see z, c, s and zh, ch, sh, r ). In other words, they are pronounced in the same area of the vocal tract as those consonants. You will learn how to pronounce i simply by prolonging the sounds of these two groups of consonants. Initials B There are twenty-one initial consonants in pinyin. They are grouped as follows: 1. 2. 3. B.1 b p m f d t n l g k h j q x z c s zh ch sh r 4. 5. 6. b, p, m, f b is different from its English counterpart. It is not voiced, as the vocal cords do not vibrate upon its pronunciation, and sounds more like the “p” in “speak.” p is aspirated. In other words, there is a strong puff of breath when this consonant is pronounced. It is also voiceless, and sounds like the “p” in “pork.” m is produced in the same manner as the English “m.” It is voiced. Pronounce f as you would in English. Only the simple finals a, o, i, and u and compound finals that start with a, o, i, or u can be combined with b, p, and m; only the simple finals a, o, and u and compound finals that start with a, o, or u can be combined with f. When these initials are combined with o, there is actually a short u sound in between. For instance, the syllable bo actually includes a very short u sound between b and o: it is pronounced b(u)o. Practice your pronunciation with the audio exercises below: B.1.a (Initial-Final Combinations) ba bi bu bo pa pi pu po ma mi mu mo fa fu fo m vs. f B.1.c ma fa mu fu b, p, m, f B.1.d bo po mo fo fu mu pu bu b vs. p B.1.b ba pa bu pu po bo pi bi IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 3 Basics 3 © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

The tongue is raised more to the back than it would be to pronounce their English counterparts. d and t are voiceless. Roughly, d sounds like the “t” in “stand,” and t sounds like the “t” in “tea.” When pronouncing l, touch your palate with the tip of your tongue. n is nasal. Only the simple finals a, i, e, and u and compound finals that start with a, i, e, or u can be combined with d, t, n, and l; n and l can also be combined with ü and the compound finals that start with ü. Practice your pronunciation with the audio exercises below: (Initial-Final Combinations) B.2.a da di du de lu lü nu nü ta ti tu te lu nu lü nü na ni nu ne nü la li lu le lü d vs. t B.2.b B.3 l vs. n B.2.c da ta di ti du tu de te d, t, n, l B.2.d le ne te de du tu lu nu g, k, h g is unaspirated and voiceless, whereas k is aspirated and voiceless. When pronouncing g and k, raise the back of your tongue against your soft palate. Roughly, g sounds like the “k” in “sky,” and k sounds like the “k” in “kite.” h is voiceless. When pronouncing h, raise the back of your tongue towards your soft palate. Unlike the pronunciation of its English counterpart, the friction is noticeable. Only the simple finals a, e, and u and the compound finals that start with a, e, or u can be combined with g, k, and h. Practice your pronunciation with the audio exercises below: 4 Integrated Chinese 1 | Textbook B.3.a (Initial-Final Combinations) gu ge ga ku ke ka hu he ha B.3.b g vs. k gu ku ge gu hu ke ge he k vs. h B.3.d B.3.e ke g vs. h B.3.c he ku hu g, k, h gu ku hu he ke ge © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

It is unaspirated and the vocal cords do not vibrate. The pinyin j is similar to the “j” in “jeep,” but it is unvoiced and articulated with the tip of the tongue resting behind the lower incisors. You also need to pull the corners of your mouth straight back to pronounce it. q is pronounced in the same manner as j, but it is aspirated. The pinyin q is similar to the “ch” in “cheese,” except that it is articulated with the tip of the tongue resting behind the lower incisors. When pronouncing q, don’t forget to pull the corners of your mouth straight back. To make the x sound, first raise the flat center of your tongue toward (but not touching) the hard palate and then let the air squeeze out. The vocal cords do not vibrate. x, like j and q, is articulated with the tip of the tongue resting behind the lower incisors. To pronounce x correctly, you also need to pull the corners of your mouth straight back, as if making a tight smile. The finals that can be combined with j, q, and x are limited to i and ü and compound finals that start with i or ü. When j, q, and x are combined with ü or a compound final starting with ü, the umlaut is omitted and the ü appears as u. Practice your pronunciation with the audio exercises below: B.4.a (Initial-Final Combinations) ji ju qi qu xi xu ji B.5 qi qi ju xi qu ji xi ju xu j, q, x B.4.e qu xu j vs. x B.4.d j vs. q B.4.b q vs. x B.4.c ji qi xi ju qu xu z, c, s z is similar to the English “ds” sound, as in “lids.” c is similar to the English “ts” sound, as in “students.” It is aspirated. s is similar to the English “s” sound. To pronounce these sounds, touch the back of your upper teeth with your tongue. The simple finals that can be combined with z, c, and s are a, e, u, and the front apical vowel i (not the regular palatal high front vowel i ). When pronouncing the syllables zi, ci, and si, hold your tongue in the same position; relax it slightly as the articulation moves from the voiceless initial consonant to the voiced vowel.

It is unaspirated and the vocal cords do not vibrate. zh sounds rather like the first sound in “jerk,” but it is unvoiced. ch is pronounced like zh, but ch is aspirated. ch sounds rather like the “ch” in “chirp.” To make the sh sound, turn the tip of your tongue up toward (but not touching) the hard palate and then let the air squeeze out. The vocal cords do not vibrate. sh sounds rather like the “sh” in “shirt” and “Shirley.” r is pronounced in the same manner as sh, but it is voiced; therefore, the vocal cords vibrate. Pronounce it simply by prolonging sh, making sure your lips are not rounded. The finals that can be combined with zh, ch, sh, and r are a, e, u, and the back apical vowel i, as well as compound finals that start with a, e, or u. When pronouncing the syllables zhi, chi, shi, and ri, hold your tongue in the same position; relax it slightly as the articulation moves from the initial consonant to the vowel.

Therefore, iu represents the sound iou. The o is especially conspicuous in third- and fourth-tone syllables. ** The main vowel e is omitted in the final ui (ui = uei). Like iu above, it is quite conspicuous in third- and fourth- tone syllables. *** The main vowel e is omitted in un (un = uen). In pinyin, compound finals are composed of a main vowel and one or two secondary vowels, or a main vowel and one secondary vowel followed by the nasal ending -n or -ng. When the initial vowels are a, e, or o, they are stressed. The vowels following are soft and brief. When the initial vowels are i, u, or ü, the main vowels come after them. i, u, and ü are transitional sounds. If there are vowels or nasal consonants after the main vowels, they should be unstressed as well. In a compound final, the main vowel can be affected by the phonemes before and after it. For instance, the a in ian is pronounced with a lower degree of aperture and a higher position of the tongue than the a in ma; and to pronounce the a in ang, the tongue has to be positioned more to the back of the mouth than is usually the case with a. When pronouncing the e in ei, the tongue must be positioned a bit toward the front and a bit higher than it would be if pronouncing the simple vowel e alone. The e in ie is pronounced with a lower position of the tongue than the e in ei. When pronouncing the e in en and the e in a neutral tone like the second syllable of gēge, you should position your tongue in the center of your mouth, as with the pronunciation of the “e” in “the.” IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 7 Basics 7 © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means. 10/11/16 6:52 PM As noted above, in pinyin orthography some vowels are omitted for the sake of economy, e.g., i(o)u, u(e)i. However, when pronouncing such sounds, these vowels must not be omitted. Pinyin spelling rules are as follows: If there is no initial consonant before i, i is written as a semi-vowel, y. Thus ia, ie, iao, iu, ian, and iang become ya, ye, yao, you (note that the o cannot be omitted here), yan, and yang. Before in and ing, add y, e.g., yin and ying. 2. If there is no initial consonant before ü, add a y and drop the umlaut: yu, yuan, yue, yun. 3. u becomes w if it is not preceded by an initial, e.g., wa, wai, wan, wang, wei, wen, weng, wo. u by itself becomes wu. 4. ueng is written as ong if preceded by an initial, e.g., tong, dong, nong, long. Without an initial, it is weng. 1. 5. To avoid confusion, an apostrophe is used to separate two syllables with connecting vowels, e.g., nǚ’ér (daughter) and the city Xī’ān (nǚ and ér, Xī and ān are separate syllables). Sometimes an apostrophe is also needed even if the two syllables are not connected by vowels, e.g., fáng’ài (to hinder) and fāng’àn (plan, scheme).

See D.1 Practice III for more examples.) Tones D Every Chinese syllable has a tone. D.1 Four Tones and Neutral Tone There are four tones in Modern Standard Chinese. The first tone is a high-level tone with a pitch value of 55 (see chart below); its tone mark is “ ¯ ”. The second tone is a rising tone with a pitch value of 35; its tone mark is “ ́ ”. The citation form of the third tone has a pitch value of 214. However, in normal speech it almost always occurs as a “half third tone” with a pitch value of 21. Its tone mark is “ ˇ ”. Please see D.2. Tone Sandhi for a discussion of how to pronounce third-tone syllables in succession. The fourth tone is a falling tone with a pitch value of 51; its tone mark is “ ˋ ”. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means. IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 9 Basics 9 In addition to the four tones, there is also a neutral tone in Modern Standard Chinese. Neutral tone words include those that do not have fundamental tones (e.g., the question particle ma), and those which do have tones when pronounced individually, but are not stressed in certain compounds (e.g., the second ba in bàba, “father”). There are no tone marks for neutral tone syllables. A neutral tone syllable is pronounced briefly and softly, and its pitch value is determined by the stressed 10/11/16 6:52 PM syllable immediately before it. A neutral tone following a first-tone syllable, as in māma (mother), carries a pitch tone of 2. When it follows a second-tone syllable, a third-tone syllable, or a fourthtone syllable, its pitch tone will be 3, 4, and 1 respectively. Tones are crucial in Chinese. The same initial-final combination with different tones may have different meanings. For instance, mā is “mother,” má is “hemp,” mǎ is “horse,” mà is “to scold,” and ma is an interrogative particle. The four tones can be diagrammed as follows: First Tone Second Tone Third Tone Fourth Tone 5 4 3 2 1 Tone marks are written above the main vowel of a syllable. The main vowel can be identified according to the following sequence: a-o-e-i-u-ü. For instance, in ao the main vowel is a. In ei the main vowel is e. There is one exception: when i and u are combined into a syllable, the tone mark is written on the second vowel: iù, uì.

IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 12 10/11/16 6:52 PM Writing System Formation of Characters A Unlike English, Chinese is written in characters, each of which represents a syllable. Two sets of Chinese characters are in use: simplified characters and traditional characters. Simplified characters typically have fewer strokes than their traditional counterparts, though many characters are shared between the two sets. Characters have historically been divided into the following six categories: A.1 A.2 A.3 A.4 象形 (xiàngxíng) (pictographs, pictographic characters), e.g.: 人 (rén) 山 (shān) 日 (rì) 月 (yuè) 木 (mù) person mountain sun moon tree 指事 (zhǐshì) (simple ideograms), e.g.: 上 (shàng) 下 (xià) above below 会意 (huìyì) (compound ideograms), e.g.: 明 (míng) 休 (xiū) bright rest 形声 (xíngshēng) (pictophonetic characters [with one element indicating meaning and the other sound]), e.g.: 江，河，饭，姑 A.5 转注 (zhuǎnzhù) (mutually explanatory characters), e.g.: 老，考 A.6 假借 (jiǎjiè) (phonetic loan characters), e.g.: 来，我 © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means. IC_4e_SIMP_Basics_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 13 Basics 13 A popular myth is that Chinese writing is pictographic, and that each Chinese character represents a picture. In fact, only a small proportion of Chinese characters evolved from pictures. The vast majority are pictophonetic characters consisting of a radical and a phonetic element. The radical often suggests the meaning of a character, and the phonetic element indicates its original pronunciation, which may or may not represent its modern pronunciation. 10/11/16 6:52 PM Basic Radicals B Although there are more than fifty thousand Chinese characters, you only need to know two or three thousand to be considered literate. Mastering two or three thousand characters is, of course, still a rather formidable task. However, the learning process is easier if you grasp the basic components of Chinese characters. Traditionally, Chinese characters are grouped according to their common components, known as radicals, 部首 (bùshǒu). The 214 Kangxi radicals have been the standard set of radicals since the publication of the great Kangxi Dictionary (《康熙字典》) (《 Kāngxī Zìdiǎn 》) in 1716; although some contemporary dictionaries, which treat simplified characters as primary forms, have reduced that number to 189. If you know the radicals and other basic components well, you will find recognizing, remembering, and reproducing characters much easier. Knowing the radicals is also a must when using dictionaries that arrange characters according to their radicals. The following is a selection of forty radicals that everybody starting to learn characters should know. As you review the chart, identify where the radicals appear in the examples.

However, this list is not intended to be exhaustive. Less common structures are not covered here, and some of the components can be further divided into subcomponents. For example, by our classification, 照 is in the Top-Bottom structure, but its top component can be seen as a combination of 日 on the left and 召 on the right. Teachers are encouraged to explain the structures of individual characters whenever appropriate, and to emphasize that it is much easier to memorize a character by component than by individual stroke.

Stroke Order E Following these stroke order rules will make it easier for you to accurately count the number of strokes in a character. Knowing the exact number of strokes in a character will help you find the character in a radicalbased dictionary. Finally, your Chinese characters will look better if you write them in the correct stroke order! 1. From left to right 2. From top to bottom 3. Horizontal before vertical 川，人三十 4.

However, beginners of Chinese should frequently review some fundamental characteristics of the language, even though not all these characteristics are unique to Chinese. 1. The most basic sentence structure in Chinese is: Subject + Verb + Object 王朋喜欢打球。 U Wang Peng like play ball Wang Peng likes to play ball. 2. In Chinese, modifiers of nouns go before the nouns. 姐姐给我买的 older sister for me buy The shirt that my older sister bought me. 衬衫。 shirt 3. In Chinese, adverbials, which modify verbs, go before verbs. Adverbials typically follow the subject or the topic of the sentence. 王朋昨天看了一个中国电影。 Wang Peng yesterday see one Wang Peng watched a Chinese movie yesterday. China movie Unlike in English, adverbials in Chinese never appear at the end of the sentence. 4. In general, Chinese nouns do not directly follow numerals; there must be a measure word in between. 一 a 个 person 三本书 three 人 books 5. If a sentence has multiple clauses with the same subject, the subject in the ensuing clauses is typically omitted. If two consecutive sentences have the same subject, the subject of the second sentence is typically represented by a pronoun. 18 Integrated Chinese 1 | Textbook 李友在商店买衣服。她买了一件衬衫， Li You at store buy clothes she buy one shirt 还买了一条裤子，花了六十块钱。 also buy one pants spend sixty dollar money Li You went shopping for clothes. She bought a shirt. She bought a pair of pants as well. She spent sixty dollars. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

When the “recipient” of an action becomes known information to both interlocutors, the “recipient” of the action often appears at the beginning of the sentence as the “topic,” and the rest of the sentence functions as a “comment.” So the sentence structure becomes: Topic-Comment. 爸爸昨天给了我一个手机，那个手机我不喜欢。 Dad yesterday give I one cell phone, that cell phone I not like Dad bought me a cell phone yesterday, and I don’t like it. Useful Expressions Classroom Expressions A You will hear these expressions every day in Chinese class. 1. Nǐ hǎo! How are you? How do you do? Hello. 2. Lǎoshī hǎo! How are you, teacher? 3. Shàng kè. Let’s begin the class. 4. Xià kè. The class is over. 5. Dǎ kāi shū. Open the book. 6. Wǒ shuō, nǐmen tīng. I’ll speak, you listen. 7. Kàn hēibǎn/báibǎn. Look at the blackboard/whiteboard. 8.

This common greeting is used to address strangers as well as old acquaintances. To respond, simply repeat the same greeting. b 请问 (qǐng wèn) This is a polite phrase used to get someone’s attention before asking a question or making an inquiry, similar to “excuse me, may I ask” in English. c 你 (nǐ) vs. 您 (nín) To be more polite and respectful, replace 你 (nǐ) with its honorific form, 您 (nín). [See Language Note A, Dialogue 1, Lesson 6.] d 小姐 (xiǎojiě) This is a word with two third-tone syllables. The tone sandhi rule applies, thus making the first third tone, 小 (xiǎo), a second tone. The second syllable, 姐 (jiě), can also be pronounced in the neutral tone. Lesson 1 | Greetings | Dialogue 1 IC_4e_SIMP_L1_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 23 23 © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

GET Real WITH CHINESE Language Notes a 不 The original tone of 不 is the falling or fourth tone, “bù.” However, when followed by another fourth tone syllable, 不 changes to second tone, as in 不是 (bú shì). b 是 (shì)/不是 (bú shì) These are not universal equivalents of “yes” and “no.” One does not always need to introduce an affirmative answer to a yes/no question with 是 (shì) or a negative answer with 不是 (bú shì). For instance, to answer the question 你姓王吗？ (Nǐ xìng Wáng ma?) (Is your family name Wang?) affirmatively, one can reply, 对，我姓王 (Duì, wǒ xìng Wáng) (Yes, my family name is Wang) or simply, 我姓王 (Wǒ xìng Wáng). Lesson 1 | Greetings | Dialogue 2 To answer the question negatively, say 不，我不姓王 (Bù, wǒ bú xìng Wáng) (No, my family name is not Wang), or simply, 我不姓王 (Wǒ bú xìng Wáng).

To answer the question in the affirmative, drop 吗 (ma) from the end of the question. To answer the question in the negative, drop 吗 (ma), and insert a negative adverb—usually 不 (bù)—before the verb.

There are, however, a few disyllabic family names such as 欧阳 (Ōuyáng) and 司徒 (Sītú). The number of Chinese family names is fairly limited. According to the most recent census, the most common family names are 王 (Wáng), 李 (Lǐ), 张 (Zhāng), 刘 (Liú), and 陈 (Chén). Family names precede official titles and other forms of address: 王先生 (Wáng xiānsheng) (Mister Wang), 李老师 (Lǐ lǎoshī) (Teacher Li), etc. When addressing strangers, it is proper to say 先生 (xiānsheng) (Mr.) or 小姐 (xiǎojiě) (Miss) following their family name. In China, family names were originally passed down along maternal lines. Indeed, some of the most ancient Chinese family names, such as 姬 (Jī), 妫 (Guī), 姒 (Sì), 姚 (Yáo), and 姜 (Jiāng), as well as the character 姓 (xìng), contain the female radical 女 (nǚ). Aristocratic men and women were born with a 姓 (xìng), which came to indicate paternal lineage in subsequent ages. However, with the expansion of clans, aristocratic men would adopt a 氏 (shì) as a secondary family name. By the Western Han period (207 BCE–8 CE), 姓 (xìng) and 氏 (shì) had become indistinguishable, and even commoners had acquired family names. Thus, family names, 姓 (xìng), are sometimes called 姓氏 (xìngshì). When talking about family names, many Chinese people will reference the Hundred Family Names, 百家姓 (Bǎi Jiā Xìng), which records the known family names of the Northern Song Dynasty in the tenth century. The more than four hundred family names included are arranged in four-character lines, with every other line rhymed.

Search for the idiom 张三李四 (Zhāng Sān Lǐ Sì) using the keywords “张三李四” and “English.” Why Full names of personal names with In Chinese, family names always precede personal or given names, 名 (míng). Personal names usually carry auspicious meanings. They can be either monosyllabic, written in one character, or disyllabic, written in two characters. A person is seldom referred to by his or her family name alone. For example, Wang Peng,王朋 (Wáng Péng), should not be referred to as Wang. Additionally, when introducing oneself or someone else, one does not usually mention a monosyllabic personal name alone. For example, Wang Peng special meanings from would not say other cultures. jiào Péng) or jiào Yǒu) when introducing Li You. do you think the family names 张 (Zhāng) and 李 (Lǐ) are singled out? What is the English equivalent of this idiomatic Chinese expression, and what are some of the most common family names in English? 2. Chinese personal names often carry special meanings. Give examples 我叫朋 (Wǒ 她叫友 (Tā Instead, he would typically say 我叫王朋 (Wǒ jiào Wáng Péng) and 她叫李友 (Tā jiào Lǐ Yǒu). When meeting someone for the first time, it is polite to first ask for a family name. Then the question 你叫什么名字？ (Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi?) (What is your name?) can be asked to find out the person’s given name or full name. In Chinese culture, the use of given names often suggests a much higher degree of intimacy than is the case in the West. If one’s given name is monosyllabic, its use is even more limited and is usually confined to couples. For example, Wang Peng’s girlfriend could address him as Peng, but most people would call him Wang Peng. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

The particle 的 (de) is often omitted in colloquial speech after a personal pronoun. Therefore, we say “王朋的妈妈” (Wáng Péng de māma) (Wang Peng’s mother) but “我妈妈” (wǒ māma) (my mother). [See also Grammar 4, Lesson 3.] EXERCISES Translate these phrases containing the particle 的. 1 2 李友的爸爸哥哥的女儿 2 Measure words (I) In Chinese, a numeral is usually not followed immediately by a noun. Instead, a measure word is inserted between the number and the noun, as in (A), (B), and (C). Similarly, a measure word is often inserted between a demonstrative pronoun and a noun, as in (D) and (E). There are over one hundred measure words in Chinese, but you will come across only two or three dozen in everyday speech. Many nouns are associated with specific measure words, which are often related in meaning to the nouns. 个 (gè/ge) is the single most common measure word in Chinese. It is also sometimes used as a substitute for other measure words. 50 Integrated Chinese 1 | Textbook A B 一个人 C 一个老师 yí ge rén yí ge lǎoshī a person a teacher 一个学生 D 这个孩子 yí ge xuésheng zhè ge háizi a student this child © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

When counting numbers, however, 二 (èr) is used, e.g., 一, 二, 三, 四 (yī, èr, sān, sì) (one, two, three, four). In compound numerals, 二 (èr) is always used in the last two digits, e.g., 二十二 (èrshí’èr) (22) and 一百二十五 (yìbǎi èrshí’wǔ) (125). But 二百二十二 (èrbǎi èrshí’èr) (222) can also be expressed as 两百二十二 (liǎngbǎi èrshí’èr) (222). © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

As it always occurs in front of a verb, it is classified as an adverb. Because it refers to things or people just mentioned, it must be used at the end of an enumeration. A 王朋、李友和高文中都是学生。 Wáng Péng, Lǐ Yǒu hé Gāo Wénzhōng dōu shì xuésheng. Wang Peng, Li You, and Gao Wenzhong are all students.

C 王朋和白英爱都有妹妹。 Wáng Péng hé Bái Yīng’ài dōu yǒu mèimei. Both Wang Peng and Bai Ying’ai have younger sisters. D 高文中和李友都没有弟弟。 Gāo Wénzhōng hé Lǐ Yǒu dōu méiyǒu dìdi. Neither Gao Wenzhong nor Li You has any younger brothers. 没 (méi) is always used to negate 有 (yǒu). However, to say “not all of . . . have,” we say 不都有 (bù dōu yǒu) rather than 没都有. Whether the negative precedes or follows the word 都 (dōu) makes the difference between partial negation and complete negation. Compare the following examples. Note: 他们 (tāmen) (they). 他们不都是中国人。 Lesson 2 | Family | Grammar E Tāmen bù dōu shì Zhōngguó rén. Not all of them are Chinese. IC_4e_SIMP_L2_2PP_KP_20161010.indd 61 61 © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc.

When pairing up kinship terms for the same gender, the one with seniority is mentioned first: 哥哥弟弟 (gēge dìdi) (older and younger brothers), 姐姐妹妹 (jiějie mèimei) (older and younger sisters). Siblings are 兄弟姐妹 (xiōng dì jiě mèi). To ask whether someone has any siblings, say 你有兄弟姐妹吗? (Nǐ yǒu xiōng dì jiě mèi ma?) (Do you have any brothers or sisters?). Oldest siblings are called 大哥 (dàgē) (oldest brother) and 大姐 (dàjiě) (oldest sister); the youngest are 小弟 (xiǎodì) (youngest brother) and 小妹 (xiǎomèi) (youngest sister). The rest are ranked by numerals according to their birth order, e.g., 二姐 (èrjiě) (second oldest sister), 三弟 (sāndì) (third youngest brother). Younger siblings generally do not refer to their older brothers and sisters by name but use the appropriate kinship terms instead. Because of the one-child policy, however, many Chinese people have only cousins but no siblings. © 2021 Cheng & Tsui Company, Inc. All rights reserved.

It was common for the head of the household to live with his sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and even his greatgrandchildren. Nowadays, while some couples still live with the husband’s parents, nuclear families living independently are more and more common. Due to family planning policies in China since the late 1970s, many Chinese people do not have any brothers or sisters. In 2015, the government abandoned the one-child policy and allowed every couple to have two children. The new policy came into effect on January 1, 2016. & COMPARE CONTRAST 1 H ow does the family structure of traditional and modern China compare and contrast with that of your society or culture? elow is a Chinese 2 B government poster.

The verb 是 (shì) is usually not needed, and the word 岁 (suì) (years of age) can often be dropped. However, if the age is ten or under, the word 岁 (suì) cannot be omitted: 我十 or 我八. Note that it is incorrect to say, 我十八年. e 太…了 (tài . . . le) When 太…了 (tài . . . le) is used in an Lesson 3 | Time and Date | Dialogue 1 exclamation (as in the case here), the stress usually falls on 太 (tài), and it can typically be translated as “so” or “really.” f 谢谢 (xièxie) To express gratitude, say 谢谢 (xièxie), or 谢谢，谢谢 (xièxie, xièxie), which is more polite and exuberant.

For example, a child born in January 2016 is said to have turned two in January 2017, since the child has by then lived during two calendar years, 2016 and 2017. But for official purposes, for instance in the census, the child would still be considered one year old. The former is called the child’s nominal age, 虚岁 (xūsuì), and the latter his/her actual age, 实岁 (shísuì). Age & COMPARE CONTRAST 1 Research holidays and festivals observed in Chinese-speaking countries. Are similar holidays and festivals observed in your own country or culture? 2 Certain numbers in Chinese are considered auspicious because they sound similar to words with lucky meanings. Look up the word 久 (jiǔ) in a dictionary. What number is it a homophone of, and why do you think this number is popular at weddings? Can you think of another culture in which numbers carry auspicious meaning? y a d h t ir B s on i t i d a tr e l Chines aditiona tr e cause th e B re . a cake y a d Noodles th ir b red a nt of the conside equivale re a y e called ngth, th are thus y e h of their le T . y òu vit of longe 面 (chángshalso 寿 symbol 长 , s le y nood ever, are longevit kes, how a c y a d th China. miàn).
